Dog Breed: Shepherd / Hound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $300. PLEASE NOTE: All dogs on our website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application. The link to our application is toolkit.rescuegroups/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC Meet Butter Pecan – Smart, Loyal, and Ready to Be Your Best Friend Looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who’s eager to learn, full of personality, and bursting with potential? Meet Butter Pecan, a stunning 2 1/2 year old shepherd mix with a big heart and even bigger smarts. She’s still figuring out the world around her, but with the right family, she’s going to absolutely thrive. Personality & Temperament Butter Pecan is a classic shepherd—alert, thoughtful, and independent, but incredibly loving with her people. She may be cautious when faced with new situations or strangers, but once she knows she’s safe, she warms up quickly. She’s not one to be in your lap all the time, but she loves to be close and involved in whatever you’re doing. Training & Behavior This girl is wicked smart. In just a few weeks, she picked up verbal commands, hand signals, and respectful house manners. She knows her boundaries (like staying out of certain rooms or waiting patiently during mealtimes), and she listens exceptionally well to a calm, confident leader. She's not food- or toy-aggressive, waits politely for meals, and you can take a toy from her without a fuss. She’s housebroken, rides well in the car, respects routines, and is even patient when it’s time to towel off muddy paws. While she doesn’t love the crate, she’s familiar with it and could be reintroduced with a bit of time and patience. Activity Level & Ideal Environment Butter Pecan has a moderate-to-high energy level and needs regular exercise and mental stimulation. She enjoys tug-of-war, chasing toys, and zooming around the house—and she’ll definitely thrive with a fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and enjoy the outdoors. She’s walked on leash four times a day and does well with a Martingale collar, although she’ll need some guidance when squirrels, deer, or big trucks catch her eye. She’s not suited for apartment life or long hours alone. She’s still working through separation anxiety and would do best in a home where someone is around more often than not, especially during the adjustment period. Other Pets & People Butter Pecan currently lives with a cat and is learning to coexist, though she still needs occasional reminders to “leave it.” She’s met young children and handled it well, showing gentleness and patience. When it comes to other dogs, she’s a bit of a wild card—she’s barky and reactive on leash, but in a rare off-leash moment, she approached another dog calmly. Continued training and controlled exposure would help her grow more confident in this area. Why You'll Love Her She’s beautiful, low-maintenance in the home, and deeply respectful once she trusts you. She’s not demanding, doesn’t beg, doesn’t have accidents, and understands the household rhythm. She’ll lie in the sun at your feet while you read a book or hang on the porch, soaking up the day. She's also young, healthy, and ready to be someone’s long-term companion. Bonus: She respects boundaries and routines Loves belly rubs and hanging out with her people Excellent with toys and a strong chewer (Kongs and ropes are her jam) Physically stunning—she turns heads with her sleek coat and Belgian Malinois-style looks The perfect mid-size at 50 lbs Butter Pecan isn’t just a dog—she’s a partner and a deeply rewarding best friend in the making. With structure, patience, and love, she’s going to become something truly special. If you're looking for a loyal, smart, and stunning pup to grow with, come meet her—you just might be her perfect match. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Butter Pecan and her puppies were found as strays. BFPA was happy to admit them. All her cute puppies have been adopter. So now it is her turn to find her forever home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants should live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We therefore prefer applicants that live within an hours drive of Cary NC. For the perfect home, we would consider a little further away. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING BUTTER PECAN?
